[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65423] Sort order is wrong for real numbers

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Update of bug #65423 (group octave):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

octave's output is currently matlab compatible and performing as expected. 
note that sorting complex numbers involves some arbitrary choices, as there is
no 'correct' definition for what takes precedence.  The method currently used
by Octave and (by default) in Matlab is 

"Sorting of complex entries is done first by magnitude (‘abs (Z)’) and for
any ties by phase angle (‘angle (z)’)."


>> abs(B)
ans =

   1.0000   1.0000   1.0000
   1.0000   1.0000   1.0000
   1.0000   1.0000   1.0000
   1.0000   1.4142   1.4142
   1.0000   1.0000   1.0000
   1.0000   1.0000   1.0000
   1.0000   1.0000   1.0000
   1.0000   1.4142   1.4142

>> angle(B)
ans =

  -1.5708        0   1.5708
  -1.5708   1.5708   3.1416
        0        0        0
        0  -2.3562   2.3562
        0        0   3.1416
        0   3.1416   3.1416
   3.1416   3.1416   3.1416
   3.1416  -0.7854   0.7854



closing report.
